Jagiellonia Białystok announced that it has sent an official letter to the chairman of the PZPN College of Referees requesting clarification and interpretation of five disputed decisions from the matches against Legia Warsaw in the 9th round and Górnik Zabrze in the 10th round. The club stated that the number of key situations from the last matches prompted it to seek an official interpretation to better understand the criteria and evaluation standards applied. It added that as a club, it faces direct consequences of decisions made on the field, and the request also aimed to initiate a constructive dialogue and help avoid similar controversies in the future. #JagielloniaBiałystok #PZPN #sędziowie (translated)

Szymon Jadczak described the match played at Łazienkowska as humiliating for the Polish league. He wrote that Legia fans learned on this occasion that the club collaborated with the police and officials of Rafał Trzaskowski to harm fans of another team. He accused Dariusz Mioduski, Marcin Herr and other Legia authorities of prioritizing concessions to people who did not want Wisła fans at the match over the principles of sports rivalry. He asked whether such actions could fall under Article 296 of the Penal Code. Jadczak also criticized the president of the PZPN, Cezary Kulesza, accusing him of failing to address a problem that, in his opinion, could have been mitigated by changing and enforcing regulations for three years. He pointed out the lack of guarantees for equal treatment of clubs and poor crisis management by the Ekstraklasa authorities. He also wrote that politicians limited the fight against violence in stadiums to posts on social media, while the services and officials subordinate to them made decisions favorable to the perpetrators. The author accused sports journalists of not verifying information and repeating the Legia’s statement, while a representative from the broadcasting company behaved like a spokesperson for the club instead of seeking the truth. He also criticized Canal Plus for avoiding openly talking about the league's problems. In his opinion, the admiration for Polish football masked its deep issues, which, as he wrote, later reflected in the performance of clubs in European cups and the national team. https://t.co/OE0UzZJ1Em #Ekstraklasa #LegiaWarszawa #Kibice (translated)

Przemek Langier explained that his entry presented Jagiellonia's point of view, not his own medical opinion or undermining the competence of Dr. Jaroszewski or his diagnosis. He emphasized that he did not have the knowledge or competence to assess these issues and believed he had clearly communicated that. He added that he was writing about the doubts arising in the club, not about a wrong diagnosis. He also mentioned that Jagiellonia would probably clarify these doubts with the Polish Football Association. #Jagiellonia #PiłkaNożna #Sport (translated)

TeJot 88 suggested that the PZPN vice president negotiated a penalty lower than the costs of organizing a higher-risk match, while at the same time securing a basis for opening the sector for the next meeting. He criticized PZPN, claiming that the association doesn't even try to hide such actions. #PZPN #piłkaNożna #mecz (translated)

Szymon Jadczak wrote that the PZPN Club Licensing Committee obliged Legia Warsaw to pay 250,000 PLN for each home match played without the required number of seats for away fans. According to him, the committee deemed the closure of the sector until the end of the year as "unlawful" and stated that the city's consent for matches without away fans, obtained at the club's request, does not exempt Legia from complying with licensing requirements. Jadczak reported that by the end of the year, Legia was to play five home matches, the first of which — against Wisła Kraków — was to take place on Sunday. He announced that details would be published in WP SportoweFakty and Wirtualna Polska. #LegiaWarszawa #PZPN #piłkaNożna (translated)

Szymon Jadczak wrote that he observed the scandal that — as he put it — was caused by the authorities of Legia Warsaw before the match against Wisła Kraków. He asked whether PZPN and Ekstraklasa are proud of the league's image, in which conversations revolve around machetes, knives, and murderers. Jadczak asked what actions Cezary Kulesza would take to effectively change the regulations. He accused him of merely pretending to take action between successive banquets. He also asked if Dariusz Mioduski is proud of himself. #LegiaWarszawa #Ekstraklasa #PiłkaNożna (translated)

Mateusz Hawrot wrote that he largely agreed with Damian regarding the next edition of the "circus" in Warsaw. He pointed out that Legia was not the first to get involved in this, and similar actions had gained formal approval. He saw the source of the problem in the fact that the PZPN had ignored the issue for years and allowed various loopholes without serious consequences. He added that the association had organized nothing or provided appropriate safeguards for the future, and the effects of these neglects were visible to this day. He expressed regret over this. #Legia #PZPN #Warszawa (translated)

Karol Michalak wrote that Legia asked the police if they could play matches without away fans, and they agreed. He emphasized that in his opinion, it did not resolve the issue of PZPN licensing regulations. The author distinguished this situation from those involving Radomiak, Górnik, and Wisła, where renovations were said to result from the owners' overarching decisions. He claimed that Legia closed the away section on September 28, citing non-existent police orders and ZZW. After these documents were questioned, the club most likely asked the police if they could play the match despite the renovations. Michalak pointed out that the PZPN could suspend Legia's license due to possible violations of licensing regulations. He added that although the Ekstraklasa organized the competitions, the license was issued by the PZPN, which had the right to intervene, but — as he predicted — probably would not do so. In the end, he criticized Legia Warsaw for seeking to play a match without fans and accused them of fighting for unequal competition. He wrote that the club had nothing to do with football and described its actions as pathetic. #LegiaWarszawa #Ekstraklasa #PZPN (translated)

Szymon Jadczak wrote that the dispute over the match between Legia Warsaw and Wisła Kraków has turned into a political scandal that, in his opinion, undermines the credibility of Donald Tusk and Marcin Kierwiński. He claimed that for three years, individuals associated with Legia had tried to block Wisła fans from entering stadiums in Poland, and the boycott of their participation in matches was broken a few months earlier, after Wisła's promotion to the Ekstraklasa. According to Jadczak, the clubs provided fictitious reasons to prevent Wisła fans from entering, and Śląsk Wrocław paid a fine of one million zlotys for this. The author accused Legia of invoking a pretended renovation and letters from the Board of Greenery of Warsaw and the Polish Police to close the away sector. He wrote that in recent days the club had remained silent, and the police and officials did not oppose the arrival of Wisła fans. He added that the Ekstraklasa statement published that day indicated that Legia had a letter from the police allowing it to close the sector. Jadczak assessed that if the content of the statement is confirmed, Legia's officials achieved their goal with the passivity of the Ekstraklasa and the PZPN, as well as the assistance of the Capital City Police Headquarters. He also accused Tusk and Kierwiński of having declarations about an uncompromising fight against fan hooligans that contradicted this situation. #LegiaWarszawa #WisłaKraków #Ekstraklasa (translated)

Karol Michalak criticized the description he was responding to, claiming that each of its paragraphs contained "a load of nonsense." He used insulting terms towards people from all over Poland who — as he wrote — had made something up, accused PZPN of drinking alcohol instead of addressing the issue, and accused Legia of disregarding the regulations. He added that the description portrayed the club as if it were bravely fighting. #piłkaNożna #PZPN #LegiaWarszawa (translated)

Karol Michalak wrote that his interlocutor either lied or consulted the wrong people. He noted that the League Commission can only punish the club after unjustifiably not allowing the visiting fans, but PZPN — in his opinion — has the tools to intervene before the match. He referred to points 4.3.6 and 6.1.2 of the PZPN Licensing Manual. As he pointed out, the Club Licensing Commission can suspend or revoke a license if the conditions for its issuance are no longer met or if the licensee violates obligations defined as criterion A. He added that licensing authorities can check compliance with the criteria at any time during the licensing season. Michalak stated that if Legia violated criterion A due to the lack of an efficient away sector, it could face consequences such as the suspension of its license. According to him, it would also be possible to order the match to be played with empty stands or to postpone the meeting. #PZPN #piłkaNożna #licencje (translated)

Karol Michalak referred to Tomasz Włodarczyk's comments on the Meczyki program, stating that on Sunday, there may be a lack of fans in the stands, and only later will it be revealed what penalty will be imposed on Legia. Michalak considered such a scenario realistic but questioned its logic. He wrote that if Legia is breaking the rules, and the PZPN knows about it, the reaction should occur before the match; if the club is not breaking the rules, there should be no penalty for the absence of fans. He compared this situation to the police passively observing a theft to the detriment of an elderly woman, and only taking action after a month. #LegiaWarszawa #kibice #PZPN (translated)
